Every Sunday, Jim Haynes -- an American expat in Montparnasse -- holds a party, open to anyone who RSVPs in time. You show up, contribute about 25 euros, have some wine and dinner, and talk to anyone you like. I went last night and met quite a few people -- Americans, Brits, and even Parisiens. I definitely need some pals for my stay here, and this was a great first step.
Jim figures that, over the years, he's had a total of 100,000 people at his parties. He lives in one of a row of artists' studios, with a great little courtyard.

ReplyDeleteHello,
Allow me to present myself: I am Cindy, information manager for the French travel guide collection: Seriousguide
Seriousguide are collaborative travel guides, indeed the information they provide comes from personal travellers experiences related on our website: www.seriousguide.fr
This year, we have published our first issues, that is to say : Andalucia, South Morocco, Barcelona and Corsica. Our next guide is on Paris.
Our website is opened and travels published by Internet users represent an essential information for our printed guides.
However, we also notice interesting contains from others blogs.
That’s why we pre-select the party of Jim Haynes that you seemed to have enjoy a lot. So we sent one of our correspondents on the spot to check out every detail we needed to publish it in our Paris Seriousguide.
If we decide to keep this activity for our guide, we would like to quote your pseudonym as our first source for this activity.
I want to emphasis on the fact that we are not going to use the text you wrote for your blog, but we want to mention you since it’s thanks to you that we found this interesting information.
If you agree, could you please send me your answer by email at the following address: documentation[at]seriousguide.fr?
You can also create your profile on www.seriousguide.fr in order to describe your travels and be informed about our publications.
Best regards,
Cindy
